Really great place to stay

I really enjoyed this VBRO's location and hot tub. The screened in porch is amazing and just so lovely to sit and enjoy the woods. The kitchen was well-equipped, too. I could even make my smoothies! My only complaint would be to maybe add box springs because the beds were pretty hard without it.

Owl’s Roost

The property was perfect for our getaway. It has everything you would need. After a day of hiking it was great to have the hot tub to relax in and the bed was very comfy. My only suggestion would be to update the pictures as the furniture was different than the pictures. If returning to the area would definitely book this cabin again.

Our stay was mostly great. The location was fairly easy to find with the added directions on their downloadable guide. The place was clean and location was quiet and in a nice convenient area to the park. There were only a few details that I would like to add that made my review a 4 instead of a 5. There were a couple things in the cabin that were broken or did not work properly such as a chair in the dining area, we weren’t notified of this and went to sit down only to almost fall due to chairs leg being broken. The glass sliding door leading to the back deck was impossible to lock back up once opened as well. The restroom was not supplied with any shampoo, conditioner or body was which I think is standard whenever staying anywhere. It would have also been nice to have aluminum foil or parchment paper for cooking as well as salt since these items are used in very small quantities and would be a waste for guest to buy only to leave most of it behind. I also do not recall reading or being notified of the washer and dryer being located in the back of the property and requiring a key for entry. I did a little looking around and had noticed a window and steps that lead to the back of the property which freaked us out at first. I was able to see a key hanging in the key hanger and put two and two together and figured out this was the location to the washer and dryer. All this could have been avoided if it was mentioned in their instructions. Other than that stay was pleasant.

We love the “Owl’s Roost”! We have stayed there numerous times and are always pleased with our stay. We love the location. It is merely minutes from Cades Cove, which is our favorite place when we come to Tennessee. The upgrades they have made are great. We hope to be back real soon!

Owl’s Roost stay over Easter weekend

We had a wonderful time and the property suited our needs perfectly. Easy access to Smoky Mountain National Park on “the peaceful side” away from the Gatlinburg craziness. Hanging out on the screened in porches was our favorite part.

Excellent Private Home Based to the Smokies

Quiet and Peaceful. Just before Townsend. Not far from food, shopping, the river and the mountains. A great home base to spend time on the river on the quiet side. Make your drive easier by using a car with all wheel drive. As such, we had no issue. Plenty of space to relax.

Fabulous Location Smoky Mountain Retreat

We loved our recent stay the Owl's Roost with all the comforts of home! The cabin is super charming and the inside of the cabin is surprising larger than expected/photos. Kitchen was well supplied with dishes, utensils, and cookware. Great location to nearby Great Smoky Mountains, Cades Cove, Tuckaleechee Caverns and Little Arrow River. The only reminder would be to bring your own firewood and any condiments for grilling steaks/hamburgers/hot dogs. Loved it!!

Great location and communication

Frequent and thorough communication with the property Manager- no concerns there!. The home was clean and well-appointed with the exception of kitchen linens- fortunately I have often experienced this at rental properties and packed some from home. Otherwise the kitchen had more items than I had hoped for. Location is great - our first time in Townsend and loved being close to town but super quiet at the house. The home will need some maintenance work- the floors are very un-level and the shower floor has more flex than you’d expect or want. There may also be some other plumbing type things to be addressed as when using the toilet in the 1/2 bath, it sounds as though water is running under the floor (before flushing). We were overall very happy with our stay! I am always very hesitant to write reviews knowing that I am exceptionally particular which is why I gave a high rating and added comments.

Great Little Get-A-Way

The property was very clean and well kept! This is my first encounter with VBRO or any of those type things. Very cute comfortable place to be. Loved the porch area! Very well stocked with the essentials, nice clean linens, couldn't have asked for a better stay. My sisters and I had a very nice time! Thank you!
